Notebook: Process continues to weigh on No. 1 Andrew Wiggins

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. -- Andrew Wiggins is the most-watched high school basketball player in the country. His games routinely sell out the arena, and Sunday evening was no exception.

The bleachers of Blake Arena were filled in anticipation for his showdown with fellow top-10 prospect Noah Vonleh, and Wiggins didn't let them down, going for 19 points and 10 rebounds as Huntington Prep (W.Va.) pulled out a 55-47 win over New Hampton Prep (NH).

Vonleh struggled from the get-go with foul trouble, playing just 16 minutes and finishing with nine points and five rebounds.

“He was looking forward to the matchup,” Huntington Prep coach Rob Fulford said. “He likes going against elite players. Sometimes, when there's not a five-star guy across from him, he coasts a bit.”

Wiggins certainly showed no signs of relinquishing his status as the No. 1 player in the country, but he also showed no signs of making a college decision anytime soon.

He spoke briefly to the media waiting outside the locker room but gave no hints as to where he was headed for the 2013-14 season.

“He doesn't like talking about it,” Fulford said. “The recruiting is weighing on him a little bit.”

Kentucky and Florida State have long been considered the favorites, with North Carolina and Kansas also in the mix. He took an official visit to Florida State in early December and could take one to Kansas soon.

Florida State has been involved for a long time, as Wiggins' parents attended college there. His father was an NBA player, while his mother was an Olympic track star. Fulford said Wiggins' parents would have an input in his choice.

“It's his decision, but his parents have to sign off on where he's going to go,” Fulford said. “They're fine with everyone involved.”

Kentucky has made a strong impression on Wiggins as well, and playing multiple high school games in the state have given him a taste of what he could expect if he decides to go to Lexington. Fulford said they've played six games in Kentucky, which brought a total of 35,000 people to the games.

Is that a good thing, though?

“It's overwhelming,” Fulford said. “He doesn't like the attention. He doesn't like it.”

Don't expect Wiggins to make a decision for a few months -- and when he does, don't expect a big announcement.

“I think he's going to send a text message and that's going to be it,” Fulford said. “And he might not even do that himself.”

A couple of years ago, Kevin Zabo was considered one of the premier players in his class. At St. Mark's (Mass.), Zabo had already broken through into the lineup alongside older players – gaining a rep throughout the region.

Midway through his junior year, though, the 6-foot-2 Zabo is now coming off the bench at Brewster Academy (NH), behind senior Martez Harrison.

“I've done a good job of adjusting,” Zabo said. “I was recovering from an ankle injury, and Martez is a point guard, and he does a great job with that. I can play with him too.”

On his third high school in the last year and a half -- he also spent time at Montrose Christian (Md.) -- Zabo is looking to build back up his stock.
